  • This State of Mind is like watching an incredible movie. Carolyn Hennesy is a great storyteller. We discuss alcoholism, acting, close calls, and General Hospital. It’s incredibly entertaining.

You should have her on periodically because she sure does have a lot of wisdom. Great episode ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Maurice my children and in-laws had our Super Bowl party in Tennessee. Every couple had their own floor. I realized that we were all together except my son. He seemed very uncomfortable. I went to be with him and I asked why don’t you sit with us. He said. Mom everybody is drinking alcohol. He said I haven’t drank anything in thirteen years. He said I’m not going to be around it because I’m afraid I will give in. I love him so much and I am so proud of him ❤️

    Carolyn is great. One of my all-time favorite GH scenes was when Sonny, Diane and Spinelli were talking about Jason's then-secret child, who Spinelli referred to as "the innocent one". As the conversation heated up, Diane got wrapped up in Spinelli-speak and called the baby "the innocent one" as well, much to her embarrassment. LOL

    Thank-you Maurice and Carolyn! Maurice, this was top drawer! Carolyn spoke so eloquently about her alcohol addiction, and in doing so, she shared very simply and clearly what an alcoholic's journey to a healthy sobriety needs to include to live a happy and balanced life. Her words were a gift to many today...the
    addicted, their family, friends, spouses, partners, adult children, co-workers etc. etc.
    Speaking about the animals always touches my heart. Maurice, you have a beautiful interviewing style...always giving guests their space to tell their story by honouring them with your respect and grace. Much love to you both!❤️🇨🇦

    Carolyn Hennesy is a classy intelligent lady just like her character on General Hospital. I love her passion for animals. I have a Chinese crested powder puff named Rio. I got him when he was five months old and as of this month he will be sixteen. He has not only helped me during my depression, but even in the most difficult times. No judgement just unconditional love. The thought of losing him is devastating, but I know in my heart I will have to rescue another dog. I must say Maurice you bring so many incredible guests with such diversity, and it helps immensely. Thanks again for another great interview. ❤🐶🇨🇦🇮🇹

I’m so happy for him and never go down that path with the alcohol addictions and the way my grandfather went through. It’s just an incredible story and also grateful he’s here today.

Love her determination, her command of the room, her self confidence, and straight forwardness, qualities I wish I had. She is classy and down to earth. She is right about changing the mind when wanting to live sober or overcoming any addiction or fear. Love her on GH and would love to see her in more scenes. She is so funny. Love the statement, "I put on mascara for you Mo." Bring her back often!!

    Carolyn's take on truly living sober, not just being a "dry drunk" was the first time I'd heard that perspective. Wowza, that sticks the landing. Carolyn reminds me of my bestie so much (whom I sadly lost in 2004) - that spunk, that humor, that same energy, and even physical appearance. I'm rejuvenated every time I see her on screen - It's like I get Cookie back for a few minutes of my day and my soul is happy. Thanks, Mo, for another good one, and stay sterling, beautiful Carolyn! ❤
